Designer and architect Eric Kuhne re-imagines how we look at cities and discusses how education and learning will factor in to the creation of our next great civic spaces.

Eric Kuhne

Whelped of Swiss/Czech/Swedish stock, Eric grew up an Air Force brat on bases in Houston, Biloxi, Tampa, Tucson, Chicago and El Paso. Once he discovered perspective drawing at age 7, there was no turning back. From his studio in Clerkenwell, he designs not just buildings, but entire cities, wrestling with the defining problem of our age: re-imagining earth's intensely urban future, creating great civic spaces, in ways that are culturally enriching, communally uplifting, yet human scale.
